Restricted vs non-restricted is determined by NET carbs (subtract the dietary fiber, which is not digested). However if you are referring to the BBQ or Garlic soy nuts, they are unrestricted. Were you told they were restricted?

Hmmm...yeah that doesn't make a lot of sense, I personally have never used the soy nuts myself so I had only glanced at the labels.

The one thing that I noticed is that the soy nuts are higher in fat (60 calories from fat out of 140 total calories - higher than 30% of total calories), and lower in protein (11g protein, versus an average of 15g protein in most IP products). That might justify making them a "restricted" item.
